To most AN members, then.

Except police flashed his ID card to the camera for everyone to see and post on Twitter...

So unmanned beeping metal detectors aren't enough, then?

About bloody time...

True, the grass is red.

From link in original post: Somchat later posted on social media that the man had been brought in for questioning, where it emerged he had not paid the road tax on his vehicle.

Rinse. Repeat. Daily.

Cabbies would demolish it the day it opens...

In another "mall" the only language I could hear was Mandarin on weekend... Didn't even hear anyone speak Thai. Just Chinese everywhere. This Paragon incident and the part that Chinese woman was shot dead might change that a bit...

Unofficially reported shooter is 14 years old boy, and currently reported are 3 dead and 2 injured.

Seems shooter has been arrested:

Hmmm.... Polar bear?

I was trying to find something nice, short and downloadable... but OK, from the horse's mouth then (so to speak): 1.Taxable Person Taxpayers are classified into “resident” and “non-resident”. “Resident” means any person residing in Thailand for a period or periods aggregating more than 180 days in any tax (calendar) year. A resident of Thailand is liable to pay tax on income from sources in Thailand as well as on the portion of income from foreign sources that is brought into Thailand. A non-resident is, however, subject to tax only on income from sources in Thailand. Source: https://www.rd.go.th/english/6045.html So what is a tourist that's staying over 180 days in a calendar year in Thailand not? A "person"? Identifies as what then? As for tax number. How do you pay tax in Thailand if you don't have Thai tax number?

Looking at the title and the photo at the top... I guess army wouldn't mind getting them in early...

PWC and Bangkok Government must both be wrong, then. https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/thailand/individual/residence https://iao.bangkok.go.th/storage/files/Personal Income Tax.pdf

Just left. With return ticket in 3 months which I never used. But then again, I was 20.

There isn't. But even as a tourist, when staying over half a year in the country, you'd need to apply for tax number, become Thailand tax resident, declare and start paying taxes here. I'd bet you didn't do that.

In the suggestions in linked article, there were many of the socialistic countries' policies, but the difference is that in those, either taxes are high and more or less everyone pays their share, or income is negotiated in net salary, so (high) deductions aren't even visible. In Thailand, other than some middle class, barely anyone pays taxes, so to get such a scheme going, the rich and the poor would have to be taxed. Putting more burden on middle class will break it and cause even a larger gap. But just think of who is in power. Are they ever going to go out on their limb to tax themselves to finance this? In your dreams.

They are quite loud, sometimes flying solo, sometimes in groups of about 10-15. Anyone knows what's going on? In many years this is the first time I see/hear them.

With STDs it's much better to be negative than positive...

Very important news for Pattaya expats then

Yeah, at least this one has a red glowing coil inside. I did that on induction plate!
